Someone in Florida right now is probably wondering, "Where did I put that coffin filled with weapons?" If you happen to be that person, the police would like to let you know that it's safe and in their custody. Feel free to pick it up if you don't mind answering a whole lot of questions.

A Florida Fish and Wildlife officer found the closed wooden casket in De Leon Springs and contacted the Volusia County Sheriff's department. Once the coffin was opened they found 46 items that ranged from weapons to household appliances...that could easily be used as weapons.

Wooden handle with attached rusted knife blade

Black stick with attached chain

Silver metal sword blade with missing hand grip

Large pair of black metal tongs

The police haven't identified who it belongs to but our imagination has been running wild with speculation. So we present...
